Following the killing of Bakher Nasserat in Taibeh on Sunday morning, the Abraham Initiatives reported that 138 Arab citizens have been killed in crime-related violence since the start of 2026 — an 8% increase from the 128 victims recorded in the same period last year. The tally includes 12 women and girls, according to the monitoring group (N12).
The Abraham Initiatives, a nonprofit monitoring violence in Arab society, reported Sunday that 138 Arab citizens have been killed in crime-related violence since the start of 2026. The figure, cited by N12, represents an 8% rise compared to 128 victims in the same period last year. Of the total, 12 are women and girls.
The report follows the Sunday morning killing of Bakher Nasserat, 20, who was shot dead in Taibeh. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, police believe the shooting stemmed from a family feud; a suspect is at large.
The Abraham Initiatives previously reported a steadily rising toll: 129 victims as of June 13, and 131 by June 23. The current tally of 138 reflects an acceleration in lethal violence, with the monitoring group noting that 135 of the victims are Israeli citizens and 3 are residents without citizenship.
